(1) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
(2) Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
(3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
(4) To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
(5) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
(8) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
(9) Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. / Chapter 1

(5)Who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(6)In which you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if necessary, you are weighed down because of many temptations:

(9)Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1:2a - foreknowledge - to know ahead of time - God Who knows all things past present and
future knew who would be His children before He created the heavens and the earth.
i.e. God knew and chose us before the foundation of the world - see Ephesians 1:4
1:2b – grace and peace – grace always precedes peace
1:7c - appearing of Jesus Christ - i.e. the Rapture - See I Cor. 1:8; Is. 26:20

Session 2: Sept. 11, 2016 I Pet. 1: 13-25 Be Holy
{60} I PeterKing James Version / King James Paraphrase
(10) Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
(11) Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
(12) Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
(13) Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
(14) As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
(15) But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
(16) Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
(17) And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
(18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
(19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: / (10)Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied beforehand of the grace that would come to you:
(11)Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ Who was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
(12)To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves, but for us they ministered the things, which are now reported to you by those who have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; of things the angels desire to look into.
(13)Therefore bind up your mindsd, be sober, and keep hope to the end because of the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
(14)As obedient children, not living according to your former lusts in your ignorance:
(15)But as He Who has called you is holy, so you be holy in all manner of conversation;
(16)Because it is written,
Be holy; because I am holye.
(17)And if you call on the Father, Who judges without respect of persons according to every man's deeds, pass the time of your living here in fear:
(18)Inasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your worthless conversation received by tradition from your forefathers;
(19)But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot:
1:13d - gird up [tie up] the thighs [loins] of your mind - i.e. in your mind be ready for action to do
what is right at all times - in Bible times the long robes were a hinderance to running, so
they had to pull them up and tie them with their waist strap to hold them up

{60} I Peter
King James Version / King James Paraphrase
(20) Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
(21) Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
(22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
(23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
(24) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
(25) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Chapter 2
(1) Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
(2) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
(3) If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(4) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, / (20)Who truly was chosen before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for you,
(21)Who by Him believe in God, Who raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
(22)Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unpretended love for the brothers, see that you fervently love one another with a pure heart:
(23)Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, Who lives and stays with you forever.
(24)Because
all flesh is as grass, and all the
glory of man as the flower of
grass. The grass withers, and its
flower falls away:
(25)But the word of the Lord
endures foreverf.
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached to you.

Chapter 2
(1)Therefore laying aside all evil intentions, and all evil deeds, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil talk,
(2)As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow by it:
(3)If you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(4)To Whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

King James Version / King James Paraphrase
(5) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
(6) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
(7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
(8) And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
(9) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
(10) Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
(11) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Session 4: I Pet. 2:11-20 9/25
(12) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. / (5)You also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
(6)Therefore also it is written in the scripture,
Look, I lay in Zion a chief
corner stone, chosen, precious:
and he who believes on Him shall
not be disappointeda.
(7)To you therefore who believe He is precious: but to those who are disobedient,
the stone which the builders
rejected, the same has been made
the head of the cornerb,
(8)And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to those who stumble at the word, being disobedient: where also they were appointed.
(9)But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth His praises Who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light:
(10) You who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
(11)Dearly beloved, I urge you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
(12)Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles {non-Jews}: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may because of your good works, which they shall witness, glorify God in the day of visitation.

{60} I Peter
King James Version / King James Paraphrase
(13) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
(14) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
(15) For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
(16) As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
(17) Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
(18) Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
(19) For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
(20) For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
(21) For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
(22) Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
(23) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: / (13)Submit yourselves to every law of man for the Lord's sake: whether it is to the king, as supreme;
(14)Or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of those who do well.
(15)Because this is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
(16)As free people, and not using your liberty as a disguise for evil, but as the servants of God.
(17)Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
(18)Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the bad.
(19)Because this is worthy of thanks, if a man because of conscience towards God endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
(20) What glory is it, if, when you are abused because of your faults, you take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, and you bear it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
(21)Because this is what you were called for: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
(22)Who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth:
(23)Who, when He was cursed at, did not curse back; when He suffered, He did not threaten back; but committed Himself to Him Who judges righteously:

Session 5: Oct. 2, 2016 I Pet. 3:1-12 Living in Relationship
{60} I PeterKing James Version / King James Paraphrase
(24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
(25) For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Chapter 3
(1) Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
(2) While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
(3) Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
(4) But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
(5) For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
(6) Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
(7) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. / (24)Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by Whose stripes you were healedc.
(25)Because you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Chapter 3
(1)Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any husbands do not obey the word, they also may without the word be won over by the conversation of the wives;
(2)While they see your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
(3)Whose beauty is not that outward beauty of braiding the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of fancy clothing;
(4)But let it be the inner man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a humble and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
(5)Because after this manner in the old times the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
(6)Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, as long as you do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
